DRAWING THE COLOR LINE.
Seeding Delegates to the South Carolina
Episcopal Convention.

Episcopal Convention.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 1G.-The South
Carolina Episcopal diocesan convention met
Thursday in this city. When the committee
on clerical credentials reported the bishops
list of delegates, a motion was made to strike
out the name of Rev. J. H. NJ. Holland col
ored, rector of st. Marks (colored) Episcopal
church, Charleston A warm debate began
and continued all day Thursday. Friday
morning Bishop Howe declared the conven-
ton organized and ready for business. An
appeal was taken from his ruling and the
discussion of the color line was continued
that evening Bishop Howe put the question
of sustaining the appeal and it was voted
down, the clerical and lay delegates dividing.
The bishop then ordered the secretary to read
the rules Of the order, when the Hon. c. G.
Meininger, secretary of the treasury of the
southern confederacy sprang to his feet and
sent a new secession ordinance to the secre-
tary to be read, declaring that the delegates
of st. Paul's church would withdraw.
This took the convention aback, and great
excitement followed. The lay delegates from
fourteen parishes quickly followed the ex-
ample of Mcininger and announced that they
would retire from the convention, which they
did, and the bishop was left with quorum.
When the seeding delegates retired Bishop
Howe said with great feeling: "Good-by,
brethren. God bless YOU" The colored
Episcopal church in South Carolina has been
fighting for the admission of colored clergy to
the diocesan convention for the last ten years.
The bishop has stood firmly by the rights of
colored priests and has been supported by
nearly all the clergy. The laity, however,
have been kicking at this innovation, declar
ing they would never consent to receiving the
negro on equal terms with the white
brethren in the conventions of the church.
The result has been split, which has been
lo,,cr
